Breakfast Scramble: Weiner Roast Edition

DavidL's Breakfast Scramble
Weiner Roasted, from Robert Stacy McCain, Other McCain: [1]

Smoke, fire.  Kettle, black. Weiner, roasted. Career, toasted.

Comment by Dandapant, McCain reader.

Literally, from New York Daily News [2]:

Anthony’s weiner never tasted so good.

A Brooklyn sausage joint is serving up a special entree skewering scandal-scarred Rep. Anthony Weiner.

Dubbed Anthony’s Weiners, the dish by Der Kommissar in Park Slope features two beef hot dogs on two slices of French bread brushed with olive oil.

Hat tip to Stacy.  He said this was a big story all along.   McCain knows news.

Saving the Fed, from Peter A. Diamond, New York Times [3]:

LAST October, I won the Nobel Prize in economics for my work on unemployment and the labor market. But I am unqualified to serve on the board of the Federal Reserve — at least according to the Republican senators who have blocked my nomination. How can this be?

As I recall Alfred Kinsey was a professor as well. and Jimmy Carter and Yassar Arafat both won Nobel Prizes, from Confederate Yankee [4]:

In case you haven’t been paying attention for the past half-decade, the Nobel Prize has been reduced to absurdity. Even Paul Krugman has one. ManBearPig got on for junk science that was debunked. Our current war-monger President, who is fighting what the left used to call “an illegal war”

Everything Barack Obama, a/k/a Dumbo, has tried to revive the economy has failed.   If Dumbo supports Diamond,  that alone is sufficient reason to oppose him.

Enviro-Nazis,  lest you think our description of the wacko jobs spouting the theory of anthropogenic global warming is a tab bit too harsh, from Sidney Morning Herald [5] (AU):

Surely it’s time for climate-change deniers to have their opinions forcibly tattooed on their bodies.

Not necessarily on the forehead; I’m a reasonable man. Just something along their arm or across their chest so their grandchildren could say, ”Really? You were one of the ones who tried to stop the world doing something? And why exactly was that, granddad?”

Mr. Glover, I’ll start taking the theory of anthropogenic global warming seriously after the the leading proponents of the theory,  see I mean you Al Gore, start acting like they believe their own purported theory.

Well I never liked bean sprouts anyhow:

BERLIN, June 5 (Xinhua [7]) — German authority said on Sunday that bean sprouts might be the “most convincing” source for the E. coli outbreak which has killed 22 people and infected more than 2,000 in the Europe.

Gert Lindemann, Agriculture Minister of the state Lower Saxony, told reporters in a press conference that restaurants and food outlets where the cases of E. coli had been reported all had received shipments of the particular bean sprouts.

When in Hamburg, eat hamburgers.
